| Lernziele |
In order to make the best out of an exchange semester, a double degree or an LLM in an Anglo-American context, preparation and acclimatization is of great benefit. The same goes for a job start in an English-speaking context. This course aims to familiarise students with the legal and business English concepts, lexis and communication skills necessary to an effective start into an English-speaking experience. |
